To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SILAs W.OGDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wooster, in the county of YWayne and State of Ohio, have invented. new and useful linprovernents in Dust-Receivers, of which the following is a specification.

. This invention relatesv to improvements in dust pan holders, the primary object of the same is to provide a holder having a back wall, an operating rod passing through a passage in the back walhand a catch operstruction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described.

ln the accompanying drawing, Figure 1. is an elevation of the holder, lf 2 is a side elevation of the same, and Fig, 8 is a sectional view of the saine with the parts assembled and applied for use.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 denotes the holder comprising end walls and 8 and a rear wall 4, supported by legs 5. The holder is provided with a handle 6, said handle having its lower portion 7 oil'- set and rearwardly inclined therefrom. where by the holder will be firmly supported upon lthe iloor and be prevented from tilting when.

iilling the pan 8. lf he said pan is pivotally secured to the holder by means of a rod 9 passing through the end walls 2 and 3 and extendingv transversely across the holder. Disposed. adjacent the top of the handle land projecting' laterally therefrom is an. auxiliary handle 10 adapi ed to conveniently lift or carry the holder around from one rooiu tothe other. Oppositely disposed from the auxiliary handle l() is an. annuariperforated liange 11.

' Securedto the top of the end walls and 25 is a hanger 12, coimprziiig two si.g e pieces of intertwisted wire, the free ends of which pass through the perforz'rted i'iange before being secured to the sides of the holder. Arranged intermediate the free ends and pro- 'ecting above the handle 6 is formed an eyelet 13 to be placed over a nail or the like for hanging the holder on the wall. Passing through the handle 6 and offset portion 7 is an operating rod 14, said rod having a sprinfT 1 5 encircling the upper portion of the saine and. arranged between the circular head 1G, disposed on. the top of the operating rod, and the annular flange 17, the latter beingarranged in the upper portion of the handle 6. .The purpose of said spring being to hold the catch 18 in engagement with the top flange 19, of the pan, supporting the pan 8 in a parallel plane to the floor in order that the dustfrom the floor may be swept into the connection with the accompanying drawing, -the construction and mode of operation of the invention should be clearly understood without a further extended description.

Changes in forin, proportions and minor details of construction niay be iliade within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof'.

vlla-vin g thus fully described the invention what is claimed as new, is:

'1. A dust pan holder, a. pan winnectcd to the holder, a handle for said lioider having an annular flange, a catch, operating means extending through the 'luindle for releasing the said catch, a head on said operating nie-ans, and means encircling the operating means and disposed intermediate said head and annular flange for holding the catch in enea-gement with a portion of the pan.
